Sometimes
I suddenly remember
the last thing we said to one another
parting
‘If you’re ever
feeling self-destructive
hell, look me up
and we can
destroy ourselves together’
Occasionally,
by chance, I remember
the last time we sat across a table
drinking
‘If you’re ever feeling
like the whole mad world
needs a little petrol
you know where to find me
and we’ll
torch the fucking lot’
You and I
always were the great destroyers
such a shame
we never got
to spark each other up
You and I
always were the great destroyers
so lucky
looking back
we parted when we did…

This is very true Peter, but I’m not so sure it’s a good idea! 🔥

Haha. Funny. Clever. And maybe not the right kind of relationship for anyone to stay in too long.

Ah thank you! I’m glad you saw the humour in this one. The person it was written about had a very dark sense of humour and I wanted to inject some of that into their poem 🙂

That’s a nice tidbit and creative thing to do. Like the way you think.
